536 Minor Threat - Out of Step

1001 Album Club

In April of 1983 Minor Threat released their only studio album.

Clocking in just north of twenty one minutes over the course of nine tracks, the album is a blisteringly fast DC hardcore assault with some surprising pop hooks peppered in.

It is single-handedly responsibly for the straight edge movement, which in turn makes it responsible for that time I (Rob) got kicked in the head for smoking a cigarette at an Avail show fourteen years post the record’s release (A story I would have told had I been on this episode).

Let’s talk Minor Threat, Out of Step!
